SetDollarTrailing not working on Oanda v20 account and 11

Postby gpw797 » 08 Aug 2017

I assume that v20 are local emulation of stops? Sends an initial stop order but order never trails like it should AND OCO orders don't work.

Hello gpw797,

OANDA has native support for Stop orders. OCO group is emulated by MultiCharts.
Please send us sample code and workspace for replicating this behavior to support @ multicharts.com

Attached is another example

You can see a position opened and gaining profit but trailing stop doesn't move. The initial stop was sent out at .78722 (which is correct) but the position has moved into profit by 55 ticks and the stop hasn't moved from the initial order and remains at .78722

gpw797,

Please go to Format->Strategy Properties->Auto trading tab->Select broker plugin->select the profile you need->go to Settings->click Lookup and select the account you need.

You need to do that for each chart you are using for auto trading.
When you save the workspace these settings will be saved as well.

Looks like it is working correctly now, thank you. It would be helpful for others if you update the broker connection instructions.

OCO orders are not cancelling again, I believe this happened after I updated to latest version a couple days ago.

Hello gpw797,

Which version were you running before the update? Did you have any updater/hotfix installed for it?
Are you using auto trading or manual trading?
Do you use v1 or v20 account?

Please send us the logs and IDs of the orders in question:
Go to Help tab->Feedback (or Windows Start menu->All programs->MultiCharts64->Feedback).
Select two options:
- Attach log files to help us understand what happened
- Upload collected data to Help Desk.
Uncheck the other options as we do not need them right now.

Not sure what version I was running prior to update. Current install says it is Version: MultiCharts64 Version 11.0 Release (Build 14943)
I did apply the hotfix which originally fixed this issue.

gpw797,

You need to do the same actions that were suggested above when you had the same issue:
gpw797,

Please go to Format->Strategy Properties->Auto trading tab->Select broker plugin->select the profile you need->go to Settings->click Lookup and select the account you need.

You need to do that for each chart you are using for auto trading.

There is still a bug with this. The OCO orders stay on the screen even though they don't exist and you can't click on them to make the order go away. See attached screen shots the orders on screen are OCO orders after a trade closed yet the OCO orders remain)

The errant behavior stopped after I updated to latest version last night.
